As much as I've criticized Inzaghi, gun to my head, I think he's fine. He just needs to STOP BEING A FUCKING DICKHEAD and I'd consider him a near excellent manager.

I am more or less on the same page. I wanted him gone after Udinese and especially Roma but i would be ok with him finishing the season as long as top 4 isn't in jeopardy. I just don't see any coach out there (Tuchel isn't realistic) who would guarantee a top 4 finish. I also don't want a change during the season in case we have an ownership change.

But i certainly want him gone next summer.

There's no evolving of coach Inzaghi, no learning from his mistakes, no progress in our game and if anything most players look worse than they did last season. I just don't think he's the right guy for us to move forward long term, Suning or no Suning.

We need someone who can get the best out of the squad with a very limited budget and even improve the players and their value and Inzaghi doesn't seem to be that guy.

I think if the ownership situation is settled, the whole environment will be better, for the coach too to do his job with the more settled team.

Regarding your last sentence, honestly I'm not sure if there even exists such coach. I mean who can actually coach in the pressure you get when you are at Inter.

These are basically the circumstances Pioli is working with and he's doing a damn fine job.

How exactly are they different to my last sentence?

- Pioli loses starters every summer and some of them haven't even properly replaced.
- Pioli works under a very limited budget and he's usually given raw kids that he has to work with and improve. And he has done a very job with them. Leao. Tonali. Kalulu.
- Pioli inherited a mess at Milan. He found roles for Hakan and Kessie in his system who struggled till then, made Kjaer look good who had a joke of a career till then, even got things from Salami guy and Krunic who would have got more bash than Gagliardini at Inter. He has improved every single player and no one can deny he's getting the best out of Milan's squad.

It isn't about Pioli being a great coach. It's about that such coach doesn't exist is such a ridiculous claim. There is one who does these things as close as in our city rivals. Just because the great Simone Inzaghi can't it doesn't mean there aren't coaches who actually can.

Don't have one.
We just need someone who is a balanced coach and who cares equally for defense and offense. The fact we are conceding this many goals, and it's deemed acceptable, by the manner that nothing is changing, we are just hoping to outscore our opponents, is always a sackable offense for me. That some clown shit from a coach, and in no way you can build something serious with that approach.

I'm also starting to believe even if we get better defenders our defense wouldn't improve much, it's the defensive system or lack thereof that's the main issue here, and that pioli, allegri have despite them playing uglier football.

How good was pioli at inter?.... Just saying...
Also Inzaghi is trailing pioli by a grand total of 3 points we better fire him....
You could also apply this logic to last season in december and the roles would be completely switched...

Won't take much to get everybody saying we have the best Manager. In fact, The 3 points that you mention !. Fire him ?. No. See where we are and what we have done at the end of the season ?.Absolutely. Might find, We have done amazing after all !.

main area of improvement is definitely substitutions. he waits WAY TOO LONG to make changes, be proactive instead of reactive it'll make the difference

Italian coaches, including our former ones tend to do that quite a lot. It's not an Inzaghi thing.

yeah conte was really annoying about this too. for inzaghi it's even worse because it's been right after conceding so all our players mentally shit at that moment and panicky and we play worse as a result

our best players are in defense. our worst tactical formation right now is in our defense.

If you can fix that, we'd be in a much better position

How do we fix it? Sit deep and use Dzeko's pace on the counter?

More tactical rigidity, a lot of work on defensive exercises and specific plays. Bring back the Conte mentality to the defense. It needs to be the mechanical lock it used to be

So, sit deep and not move forward at all? What do you mean by "rigid"?

Conte's mentality in defence was to sit tight and hit on the break with pace. We were leaking defensively before he did that.

That's just a manifestation of the core principles, though. The core principle is to have a highly disciplined, almost robotic in nature defense (and midfield - thus Eriksen's challenges at Inter). Lots of tactical rigidity - which is one of the first things Inzaghi did away with when taking over at Inter. Positions were basically mechanical. It's not about deep, high, etc, its about hours and hours of exhausting drills, very specific defined plays, and reducing (for example) roaming forward and creativity.
